A very interesting car indeed! But I think, in order to solve this puzzle copletely some hinting may be needed.

#3 - It's quite obscure, I have a blurred pic of the builder name so when someone will find it I can verify. It is French.
#6 - Self-built car, Continental aircraft engine. If you google the builder's name, here's the result:

Here's the #3

Ray B. · « **Reply #46 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:33:16 AM »

This tells us that it was made by Robert Bourbeau and Henri Devaux, who were the owners of Bédélia (same address, 32 rue Félicien David). So I guess it's a Bédélia, but i still have to check.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #47 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:49:49 AM »

Finally!
I thought it was that, but was waiting for an expert on French cars... I have no record of a Bédélia like this, but the coincidences are many...can you find any prove of that?

Ray B. · « **Reply #48 on:** November 19, 2009, 11:24:56 AM »

If you google the address, you will easily find a page about Bedelia, with the name of its two owners (not fully readable on your picture). But I could find no relation between Bedelia and this propeller car. Except that in 1911 a special model equipped with a airplane engine won the course de côte of Gaillon. Had this special model also a propeller?

In the meantime, let's call it simply a Bourbeau-Devaux.

Ray B. · « **Reply #49 on:** November 19, 2009, 11:39:26 AM »

On the plate, I think you can read (bottom left) BD2.

BD2 was a model name for the Bedelia. Maybe this car was a special order from a special customer (they did this quite often, I read), a try at a propeller-type car.
